Reflection

The overall performance started out with people singing. They were singing and they appeared to be in the freezing cold. They were dressed in jackets and the stage was lighted in blue. After the music stops the two  opposing sides argue who will be the governor of the city. This story takes place during World War II and it describes how a wealthy queen decides that she cares more about her wealth  then her child. When there were fires in chaos on stage the mother leaves her baby instead of taking it because she’s too worried about her dresses. So therefore the maid grabs the baby and ran away.  The maid adopts the baby while there is chaos going on.  Soon after the war is over the queen tries to come back and take the baby back. They may decide not to give her the child because she feels like she has been a better mother than she has and she has raise the child. They decide to go to the judge to handle the situation and the judge in the court decide to draw a white circle  around the child and the judge states whoever can pull the child out the circle can have the child. There was a plot twist and the judge stated that the maid was rewarded the child because a good mother would never hurt a child.This play does not have a tragic ending it has a happy ending. The child is able to be with the maid who raised her  and the selfish woman without. Do I have to play many characters acted in many different roles. Some people had one roll some people had 2 to 3 rows. I think for the most part they did a good job portraying the characters in different ways and different costumes. But it could be confusing to signify which characters they were playing.  There was one character (Amalia ) who  was the narrator of the entire play and her job was to basically make the play more understandable and come to life.  Also her job was to express the characters feelings they had in the play and it also resembled the motion throughout the play. I actually think her role was the most important because it bring the play together and you helped the structure of the play because the play she would  stop or The character  would stop speaking and she would come in and describe what’s going on in the story and in the plot. Another thing was that in the play the costuming was not very extravagant it was normal costumes like helmets, jackets, tables, gloves, and things like that. Also there were not many props so you had to sort of imagine the setting and imagine what was going on more than what was actually there. But overall  I understand the concept. Even though I was not physically at the play for long I was able to get a good understanding through video.

This is just to say

The words that stick out to me with the sound are words like plums, icebox, delicious, sweet, and cold. I think mainly because they are feeling words and the writer probably wanted he reader to feel the words. Also in the beginning the first stanza of the poem when the writer says the plums that were in the icebox had stuck out to me because of the T sounds that I got from the poem. Also the last stanza when the writer says so sweet and so cold. The so was repeated twice to emphasize the amount of sweetness and coldness. Also the s sounds. The meaning of the poem is that whomever has eaten the plums did because of temptation and the writer is trying to have he reader feel that temptation. They didn’t really want to eat them I’m assuming but get were really hungry and they want whomever those plums were to understand the reasoning behind it. They also want to be forgiven for what they did. Some images that come to my head is like a cooler of some sort with plums in there. Only he plum...

Play review: The romeo and juliet play at the park was very interesting. We were all laid out comfortably on blankets on the grass. The play started at 8:00. It was the original shakespeare play but with a twist. It started off with the scene in the village, and then went into a scene with juliet and her mother . In between the scenes they played more modern day music which i thought was entertaining because it gave the play more of a modern feel. During the play there was singing a little through out but it was mostly a straight play. The costumes that the characters in the play wore were accurate to the time period of romeo and juliet. There was a scene in the play where they foreshadowed the death of juliet when she wore a white robe that both tybalt and mercutio wore when they died. Because the play was a romance tragedy, there were two or three scenes where romeo and juliet kissed. In the play they danced a lot as well, but to keep the play a little modern the actors were danci...
